On Sunday, Cubans took to the polls to “vote” for a new constitution. However, the new document didn’t include a provision that opened the door for same-sex marriage legalization by defining marriage as “a consensual union between two people.”

But marriage equality is not completely off the tablein Cuba. While the new constitution doesn’t define marriage as “a consensual union between two people,” marriage is now defined as “a social and legal institution” and “one form of family organization.” While same-sex marriage is not explicitly permitted, it is technically no longer prohibited.
